Good win going into a needed bye.

ETA: Might as well turn this into a bye week thread.

and Jordy's ankle and Bulaga's hip, this season is really mirroring 2010, I hope the end result does as well.

Bulaga's injury is big. Our offensive line is weak enough to begin with.

For Godgers sake, please get some guys healthy.

Indeed. Besides the hookup with Crabby, Godgers was something like 1-6 for 12 yards in the 2nd half (forget the exact stat, but one of the packer guys on twitter was hammering on this). If we are going to be without Jennings and have a hobbled Jordicai, Rodgers will be in trouble if we are without Baby Bulaga. Who knows with this team though, injuries seem to give them a sense of injury that they would not otherwise have..

Rodgers had all day to throw, he just didn't play well.

Speaking of, did anyone catch 60 Minutes tonight?

Just got back from Lambeau a little while ago. Had a great time at my first regular season Packers game. Had amazing seats, 7th row about 50 yard line on opposite side of the Packers sideline. Randall Cobb and James Jones put on a pretty good show. Team looked pretty good other than most of the third quarter, especially considering all the injuries. Hopefully we get back to full strength soon.

No, but this tweet gave me a fit of the giggles:

@PackersTherapy: Rodgers deciding to go on 60 Minutes. RT Nagler: Worst decisions you saw around the #NFL in Week 9?

I'd be interested to hear from anyone that caught it, too.

From what I gather from the Twitterverse is Rodgers is probably regretting going on but none of it is surprising if you've paid attention over the last couple years.

Makes sense, and I haven't watched the link that I'll post in a second, but I don't get the vibe that Rodgers enjoys sharing the "small qb who never got the D1 scholarship" story.

Link for anyone interested in watching.

ETA -

To me, the most interesting part came during a section that hammered home Rodgers' sensitivity to perceived slights. We see a fan approach him during a public event and tell Rodgers he looked smaller than expected in person. Rodgers, who is 6-foot-2, tells the fan: "I don't appreciate that" and later calls it "one of the more ridiculous comments that could be thrown at me."

Says receiver Greg Jennings: "He's sensitive. ... He's going to be sensitive to the fact that we're saying he's sensitive."

Yep, wouldn't enjoy that being the arc of the piece if I were him.

I always got the vibe Aaron has been sensitive and a little self-righteous. He's says the right things to the media but you can tell he talks anything negative personally. Great trait to have as a player but I don't think he's as fun loving of a guy this board makes him out to be.

BUCKnation · Post #14 » by **BUCKnation** » Mon Nov 5, 2012 3:19 am

It was an interesting interview, especially when they talked about his sensitivities and such, but a lot of it was stuff we have heard rehashed over and over again.

It really has been eerily similar with the injuries and inconsistent play over the first 8 games like in 2010,but you get the sense this team hasn't come close to playing it's been football yet and that the best is yet to come once they get healthy and build a little more momentum.

I like the way it's shaping up so far.

Hell it even looks like the NFC might go through Atlanta and Chicago once again.

I saw the 60 minutes interview - didn't think there was anything to crazy.

There is a part where a bunch of fans "won" a chance to meet Aaron. You can tell he doesn't really want to be there (don't blame him), and some guy walks up to him and says "wow, you're a lot smaller in person." And the guy didn't say it with any personality either - straight faced. Rodgers response was "I do not appreciate that."

The guy just doesn't like the attention that comes with being an really good NFL player, but playing in a small town certainly helps with that

I was at Lambeau yesterday. Always a good time of course. Fairly subdued crowd but the result was never really in doubt. Mild, very mild booing of Crosby.

Clay had no limp when he walked into the locker room. I'm thinking 2 weeks off and he should be good to go. Jordy too. Bulaga I"m not too sure of.

Two tough road games when we return, it's going to be a tough final 7.

chuckleslove · Post #18 » by **chuckleslove** » Mon Nov 5, 2012 2:27 pm

Yeah the cameras on TV caught Clay going to the locker room and he looked to even be jogging so I'm hoping that isn't too major. Jordy had a big ass bag of ice over his ankle after the injury though so that is hard to tell, hopefully just a minor ankle sprain and nothing serious like a high ankle sprain.

Bulaga with a twisted hip or whatever they called it is definitely my biggest concern, though if Clay turns out to have something that will cause him to miss time that becomes #1. Hopefully Perry can be back after the bye too.

emunney · Post #19 » by **emunney** » Mon Nov 5, 2012 2:38 pm

From where they had the ice, it looked like an ankle or maybe a foot sprain. Also the way the foot/lower leg twisted in and not out, it didn't look like a high ankle sprain at all. My guess would be an 'normal' ankle sprain... could still be bad, though. He rolled it over pretty bad.

I believe MM said Nelson had a foot sprain.
